Oh come on – YES, visit to Canada! I was telling Kelly how much I regret missing your last trip. Hm. Need to start a “Send Alex Home” fund.

No no no – no visit to Canada – another post about James’ vacation – actually two, one for MwP and one for my own blog when I’m back from my own vacation.

Alex,

Coming to Canada to visit w/ M. Chartrand??

You started this meme by pushing him into vacationing. I think you’ve done enough, eh?

Later,

James,

Or wait a minute or two, in your case!

It’s the “start to agree with you” thing that’s the sweet spot in marketing and in real life. When the message repeatedly hits home, you don’t “sell” me. I buy. Big difference. Nice difference.

Ah, you were already cool.

Until later,

Kelly

I love number two. I’m known to grabbing onto what I want and going after it. If you hit people long enough with your message and find the right words, they’ll eventually either get fed up and cave or start to agree with you and cave.

And those that don’t? Wait a day or two and come back to it with a brand new message.

Lessons in sales: Never be afraid of asking your customer for what you want.

AND! I do look great! I am cool!

Andy,

No but we coordinated all our outfits for the month of July. LOL.

Wendi,

James is now gorgeous if I do say so myself. And thanks—your push had a lot to do with this trip.

Regards,

Kelly
